[dna-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (DNA-238) Maven build results in a lot of temporary files in "/tmp", but should instead use directory under "target"

Maven build results in a lot of temporary files in "/tmp", but should instead use directory under "target" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DNA-238 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-238 Project: DNA Issue Type: Task Components: Development Environment Affects Versions: 0.2 Reporter: Randall Hauch Assignee: Randall Hauch Priority: Blocker Fix For: 0.3 The Maven builds result in quite a few temporary files being created (perhaps by Jackrabbit and/or Derby) in "/tmp" (or wherever java.io.tmpdir points to). This has been a problem on the Hudson boxes, but also it's not playing nice according to Maven. (You'd think the Surefire plugin would default to having a temporary directory under "target", but evidently it doesn't.) To correct, we need to change the POM files so that the Surefire plugin does use a temporary directory underneath "target". That way, everything is cleaned up. This can be done by setting the standard system property on the plugin: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> ... <systemProperties> <property> <name>java.io.tmpdir</name> <value>${basedir}/target/temp</value> </property> </systemProperties> ... </configuration> </plugin>
